In My Sleep

"I'm Not Sleeping" - Tiffany feat. Krayzie Bone

I was running helplessly through narrow hallways trying to find an open door; a safe place, but all the doors were shut tight. Whenever someone would approach a door and turn the knob, they'd walk in...easily. But when I tried to do the same, nothing happened. I curled up waiting and watching others walk by me without even noticing I was there. And that's when I saw him.

In the midst of a celebration of some kind. He was dressed in black slacks and a deep, sky-blue, long-sleeve, button-up, hootin' and hollerin' with the rest of 'em, beer in hand. A group of guys noticed me approaching them and intentionally blocked me from his view. They kept chanting, "Congrats, D!" And all I kept thinking was why he would go by a different name. So I followed them.

Finally, one guy noticed me and pointed me out for him to see. He grabbed a few napkins and started doodling something and motioned to the guy to bring it to me. He couldn't even come up to me himself. I unfolded the napkins. But it was just an unfamiliar signature with the wrong name. He gave me an autograph thinking I was just some stupid fan chasing him down. My soul sank. I didn't bother opening the other napkin and just stuffed it down my pocket. When I turned to run, I ran into a few familiar faces, including a beautiful pregnant woman I have never seen before. She just stood there with a cold grin on her face, rubbing her stomach. I read her lips, "It's his."

I just ran. Door after useless door, I could never find my way in, but I kept trying. Tears started to well up that it made it hard to see clearly. I pulled out the crumpled napkin from my pocket and noticed that there was writing on it. I wiped my eyes with my hands and smoothed out the napkin. It read, "It's always been you. It will always be you. I love you." And then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Suddenly, everything went quiet. I turned to face him.

And then I woke up.

Lyrics:

Wake up, wake up....
Turn on the water
Close the door
I won't let you tear me down
Just another moment
When the sound of your voice
Cuts me to the ground

Locked in here just to make
Myself feel better
Look in the mirror
And tell myself that I'm okay
I know it doesn't matter
Whatever I do
It's always second best

I gotta free my mind

Exactly what you wanted
You opened me up
The secrets I confessed

Wake up, wake up
I'm not here just to
Make you feel better
Stroke your ego
Live happy ever after

I'm not sleeping
And I ain't dreaming
And I ain't fooled anymore
I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping
Anymore

So many times
I wanted to go
But I just lost my way
Watching you unravelling
The last piece of thread
That held me into place

I don't care if you hear a word
I'm saying
I can only hear
The voices screaming in my head

I'm not sleeping
And I ain't dreaming
And I ain't fooled anymore
I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping

I done beat your game
But I'm not even sleeping no more, I'm not even tired
And I'm sick of dreaming pain
Tossing and turning all night and waking wide up
Now I'm really looking at the door should've made this move before
I can't take this anymore
I don't want no more nightmares in the night
No not tonight
I already seen the light
I gotta free my mind
And wake up, wake up

I'm not sleeping
And I ain't dreaming
And I ain't fooled anymore
Wake up
I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping

I done beat your game
But I'm not even sleeping no more, I'm not even tired
Go to wake up
I done beat your game
But I'm not even sleeping no more, I'm not even tired

I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping
Anymore
